  • Recognizing the illness

    My husband struggles with depression. After listening to Joe Ferraro, a lot of his behaviour patterns were similar. A conversation about the podcast has opened the door to recognizing destructive habits.

  • Hidden Gem fellas

    I heard about this podcast of another podcast I follow. Oddly enough Dan and I attend the same gym every morning, ok for me every other morning, but I had no idea how insightful, thoughtful and inspiring it would be. The conversation is light and easy to follow with some true hidden gems throughout the pod! I want more of this Murph, KEEP IT GOING!

    Nice work sir!

  • Did we miss something?

    This is suppose to be a MEN’s Health podcast. So, why is a woman talking about her experience?

    If this was a Women’s Health podcast and a man talking about his experience, there would be an outrage.

    Men’s Health podcast is for Men and should only be done by Men.

  • Perfect Timing - Thank you!

    I heard the ad yesterday for Dan’s new podcast and listened to it this morning when making breakfast. As a 55 year old former athlete and active person who’s now more sedentary than I want to be and, frankly embarrassed for the extra 30lbs I’m carrying around, I want to extend a sincere thanks for this initial podcast and topic. Great balance of questions, discussion and science - especially Jennifer’s science, it really resonated with me. Great job Dan, I’m already looking forward to the next e... more
